We showed the film in our USHistory class at a high school starting in 1972, I continued showing t as I left that program. The beginning of film with the announcement that the film was withheld from the public for 20 years says it all. This could be nicely paired with the first single Educcomic I Saw It by survivor Keiji Nakazawa. I would recommend his entire collection.

The description says it is from 1970 but the roman numerals at the end of the film translate as 1980.
